UPPER EYELID SAGGING REMOVAL| BIANCA in Tokyo, Japan

Over time, the upper eyelids can begin to feel heavier, making the eyes appear tired, hooded, or less defined. At BIANCA CLINIC, experienced board-certified plastic surgeons recognized by the Japan Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (JSPRS) perform a thorough assessment of eyelid skin laxity, eyelid-opening function, tissue volume, and overall facial balance. Based on this comprehensive evaluation, our physicians recommend the most appropriate treatment approach tailored to each patient's unique anatomy, concerns, and aesthetic goals, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all solution.

Depending on your needs, treatment may involve UPPER EYELID SAGGING REMOVAL alone or in combination with other eyelid procedures when clinically appropriate.

English-speaking support is available throughout the consultation process.
During your consultation, your physician will review your concerns, explain suitable treatment options, and discuss the expected recovery process so that you can make an informed decision.
Every treatment plan starts with a thorough consultation. We encourage you to discuss your concerns and goals in detail with your physician.

The procedure typically takes around 40 minutes, although treatment time varies based on the surgical plan. Eye drops and local anesthetic injections are used during the procedure.

Sutures are generally removed seven days after surgery. Swelling and bruising commonly improve over approximately two weeks, although recovery timelines vary by individual. Most patients notice a visible improvement as swelling subsides.

Showering below the neck is usually permitted on the day of treatment, while full-body showering may resume the following day. Makeup may be applied to areas other than the eyes from the next day, and eye makeup is generally permitted three days after suture removal. Contact lenses can typically be worn again from the third postoperative day.

UPPER EYELID SAGGING REMOVAL is a surgical procedure that addresses excess upper eyelid skin by removing redundant tissue and refining the upper eyelid contour for a lighter, more refreshed appearance.

As skin elasticity gradually decreases with age, excess tissue can accumulate along the upper eyelid, contributing to hooding, heaviness, and loss of definition. During the procedure, excess skin is carefully removed. Depending on the individual's anatomy, a physician may also adjust underlying orbicularis oculi muscle tissue or orbital fat when clinically appropriate.

By reducing tissue redundancy, the eyes often appear more open and the upper eyelid contour may look smoother and better defined.

The surgery is designed to address excess skin of the upper eyelid while preserving a natural eyelid contour. Some patients are looking for subtle rejuvenation, while others require correction of more advanced tissue redundancy that may affect both appearance and visual function.

Not all upper eyelid concerns are caused by excess skin alone. In some cases, eyelid heaviness may be related to ptosis, excess orbital fat, or brow position.

Patients exploring eyelid rejuvenation options in Tokyo are often also interested in procedures such as eyebags removal or lower blepharoplasty. Because concerns around the eyes often involve multiple anatomical factors, our physicians evaluate the entire eye area during the consultation and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your individual needs.

When appropriate, the doctor may recommend complementary procedures such as ptosis correction, upper eyelid fat removal, a sub-brow lift, or ham eye correction (lower eyelid retraction correction) to address the underlying cause and achieve the most natural result.

Because UPPER EYELID SAGGING REMOVAL is a surgical procedure, careful treatment planning and postoperative monitoring are essential. Incisions are generally placed within the natural eyelid crease whenever possible to help minimize visibility after healing.
Throughout the procedure and recovery period, attention is paid to both safety and patient comfort. Anesthesia is administered during the procedure, and appropriate pain medication is prescribed following surgery. In addition, our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions and ongoing postoperative support to help ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
Common temporary side effects may include swelling, bruising, redness, asymmetry during healing, and discomfort. Individual risks and expected outcomes vary and will be discussed thoroughly during your consultation.

Upper eyelid sagging is commonly associated with two distinct factors: excess skin laxity and weakening of the structures responsible for lifting the eyelid. Skin laxity develops gradually as collagen and elastin levels decline with age, while eyelid-opening weakness may be associated with ptosis.

These conditions can occur independently or together, making an accurate diagnosis essential before selecting a treatment plan.

As these changes progress, some individuals unconsciously raise their eyebrows to improve their field of vision. Over time, this compensation may contribute to forehead creasing, eye fatigue, headaches, or neck and shoulder discomfort.

A detailed physician assessment helps identify the primary cause of concern and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

Every patient has different goals. Some wish to maintain their existing eyelid shape while reducing heaviness, while others want to restore eyelid definition that has become obscured by excess skin. In selected cases, a double eyelid crease can also be created or refined during surgery when appropriate.
Treatment planning takes into account individual anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences. At BIANCA CLINIC, treatment planning focuses on achieving eyelid contours that remain balanced with the overall facial appearance. The goal is always to achieve balanced, natural-looking results that complement the overall face rather than creating an artificial or overcorrected appearance.

Eyelid surgery should address both function and appearance whenever relevant. Physicians evaluate eyelid movement, tissue quality, and facial proportions before recommending treatment.

This comprehensive assessment helps determine whether UPPER EYELID SAGGING REMOVAL, ptosis correction, a sub-brow lift, or another procedure is the most suitable option.

This individualized evaluation is particularly valuable for patients who want a clear understanding of their treatment options before making a decision. During the consultation, your physician will discuss realistic expectations, recovery considerations, and long-term treatment planning to support informed decision-making.

UPPER EYELID SAGGING REMOVAL is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the upper eyelids to reduce heaviness and create a more refreshed, defined appearance. The procedure can also help improve the visibility of the eyelid crease and contribute to a more youthful-looking eye area.
At BIANCA CLINIC, this treatment is available for both men and women. Treatment suitability varies from person to person, so a consultation with a physician is necessary to determine the most appropriate approach for your individual anatomy and goals.

Many patients notice an improvement soon after surgery, although swelling and bruising commonly take around two weeks to improve.
The incision is typically placed along the natural eyelid crease, helping the incision line become less noticeable as healing progresses. Sutures are usually removed seven days after surgery, and eye makeup is generally permitted three days after the surgery.
While an initial change can be seen early on, the final result continues to refine over the following weeks and months. Recovery times vary by individual.
